Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 297: McQueen Caught Eating Cheating

The voice with a Kansai accent that suddenly appeared behind Xiao Luduo and the Emperor of the East China Sea was naturally Tamamo Cross. She was holding an empty bowl and seemed to want to go to the small kitchen to eat.

The two horse girls were startled and were about to turn around when, as Tamamo Cross had called them, a horse girl with short black hair and a small chestnut hat came out from the kitchen door, carrying a large plate of fried rice.

Seeing the situation at the door, the two horse racing girls coming out of the kitchen were stunned at the same time. The black-haired horse racing girl was the first to ask in surprise: "Eh? Emperor? This is... Luduo's sister? Does Luduo have such a sister...?"

The black-haired horse girl was none other than the Hinamura winner. As the dormitory head of the Ritsuto dormitory, it was not difficult for her to recognize the Emperor of the East Sea.

However, the fact that Luduo's symbol had become smaller was not made public, and the winner of the Rizhen Sect did not know about it. She just thought that the child next to the Emperor of the East China Sea looked very much like her former schoolmate, and subconsciously thought that it was the schoolmate's sister.

Being caught eavesdropping, little Luduo and the Emperor of the East China Sea were naturally extremely embarrassed, but at the same time they tacitly refused to admit it.

"I wasn't eavesdropping, I just happened to pass by here..."

However, this was the first time that little Luduo eavesdropped in such a childish way, and he was obviously inexperienced. He explained hesitantly and quickly changed the subject, "Well... this matter is a bit long to talk about, so please don't say anything for now, Senior Sister Hinamura..."

"Well, let's go somewhere else and talk about this in detail."

Little Luduo was a little glad that he had not made the fact of his shrinking smaller public before. Now he could use it as an excuse.

Otherwise, if he accidentally told others about what he had overheard, it would be extremely embarrassing for the student union president of Tresen College to do such a thing.

Although the Emperor of the East China Sea was embarrassed, he did not really care about being discovered eavesdropping. However, after hearing what little Luduo said, she suddenly realized that her idol did not want to be exposed.

So she quickly covered it up.

"Yeah, yeah, we were just a little hungry and happened to pass by here..."

After explaining it first, she suddenly came up with an excuse, "By the way, how about we go to the cafeteria? I remember that at this time, desserts should only be available there, right?"

"Hehehe, I accidentally ate McQueen's dessert before, and before she found out, I..."

She had originally been trying to divert the attention of the other horse girls to herself, and at the same time used the matter of buying desserts to support what little Rudo said.

However, just when she was halfway through her sentence, a faintly angry voice suddenly came from the side.

"Dong Hai Di Wang... You actually ate my dessert secretly when I was not in the dormitory?!"

"Yeah, that's right... Hey hey hey! McQueen?!"

After answering subconsciously, the Emperor of the East China Sea was shocked to realize that the angry voice just now came from Mejiro McQueen.

I looked hurriedly in the direction of the voice, and standing nearby was Mubai McQueen, who had appeared out of nowhere, with his hands on his hips, glaring at me angrily.

Behind her, there were three horse racing girls, who were sticking their heads out from behind McQueen, one had a blank expression, one was a little timid, and one was looking around curiously.

The one sticking its head out on the left is Miura Bourbon, and on the right are Miyu and Haru Ulala.

“Hey, this… I, I… Wait, McQueen, when did you come here…? There was no sound of footsteps at all, it would be scary…”

Although he did not expose his eavesdropping, his cheating was exposed because of his own confession, and was even heard by the person involved. The Emperor of the East China Sea stammered and glanced left and right in embarrassment, looking as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"I just came here and happened to hear you stealing my dessert!"

After resting his hands on his waist and glaring angrily for a while, McQueen suddenly sighed, "Really? Even if you, the emperor, really want to eat, just tell me. What's the point of eating secretly?"

After complaining, she put on a proper smile and saluted to the other horse girls.

"I'm very sorry for my loss of composure just now. Good evening, President Luduo, Head of the Hinamikura Dormitory, Senior Oguri, and Senior Kodama."

The horse racing ladies she mentioned were originally watching her conversation with the emperor with curiosity. At this moment, the winner of the Japanese pillow reacted first.

"Hey?! This kid... is really Luduo? Not her sister?!"

Pointing at little Ludo, she exclaimed.

There were quite a few horse racing girls in the corridor. They had stopped to pay attention to the children gathered here. When they heard that the child here was actually the symbolic president of Luduo, they pointed and talked in astonishment.

"Ah? That's President Luduo? Is that true...?"

"Is she fake? She should be President Luduo's sister. She looks so similar..."

"But, does President Luduo have a sister...?"

There was a sudden chaos in the corridor, and Mejiro McQueen, who was saying hello out of politeness, didn't expect this to happen and was a little bit at a loss.

"This... am I in trouble...?"

However, such scenes are commonplace for little Luduo. She has encountered such chaotic situations many times when handling student union affairs on a daily basis and is very experienced.

"Okay, let's stop blocking the corridor here, let's do this."

She looked calm and first looked at Oguruma who was holding a large portion of fried rice, and Tamamo Cross who was holding an empty bowl.

"I have something I want to discuss with Oguruma and Tamamo. Let's go to the cafeteria as the emperor ordered."

Then he looked at the surprised Hibachi winner and said, "Senior, if it's convenient for you, come and get well too. I can explain my current situation."

Then he looked at the Emperor of the East China Sea and said, "Remember to bring some pocket money. If you don't have much, I can lend it to you first."

Finally, he looked at Mejiro McQueen and the other horse girls and said, "I don't know what your plans are for tonight, but if you need anything, please feel free to help yourself. McQueen, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

After saying that, she walked out of the dormitory first as usual, with the demeanor of a student union president.

Behind her, the horse girls looked at each other for a moment, and it was Hikaribukuro who was the first to react.

"Hey, it's really you, Luduo... Slow down, what's going on?" She quickly followed.

Oguruma looked at the fried rice in his hand, then looked at Tamamo Cross, "Tama, fried rice..."

"Ah, I came to you to have dinner in the first place," Tamamo Cross raised the empty bowl in his hand and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that you had learned how to make fried rice recently, and you must make it for me to taste?"

"I thought about it and realized that if I ate in the dormitory, I would have to clean up and stuff, so I brought the bowl with me."

"It's just right to go to the cafeteria. It's not far anyway."

"Then let's go there."

"Yeah," Xiao Limao nodded quickly and said confidently, "I think the fried rice I made is still delicious. You will definitely like it."

The two horse racing girls also walked in the direction where Xiao Luduo and the winner of the Japanese pillow left.

"…Um, I'm sorry, McQueen. Next time if you eat something sweet again… No, next time if you want to eat something sweet, I'll tell you…"

Putting his hands together and bowing to the puzzled Mebai McQueen, the Emperor of the East China Sea said flatteringly: "I need to go over with the president now, and then I will explain and apologize to you..."

Having said that, she jogged out of the dormitory. However, after running for a while, she was suddenly surprised to find that Mejiro McQueen, Miyu, Miura Bourbon, and Haru Lala had all followed her.

"Hey? You guys..."

"We, we just happened to meet in the cafeteria," Mebai McQueen explained while trotting and with a puzzled look on his face.

"After dinner, wasn't I enjoying dessert with Sister Aldan and the others?"

"Then I saw Bourbon coming over. Bourbon said that when she was having dinner with Miyu and Chun Ulala, they talked about the thank-you cup." "Miyu said that she was curious about how I could run so fast... Actually, I wasn't very fast. After all, I lost to you, the emperor, in the end, didn't I?"

Suddenly taking a deep breath, Mebai McQueen looked seriously at the Emperor of the East Sea, "But next time, I will not lose."

Then, before the Emperor of the East Sea could react, she continued, “Anyway, Bourbon said that Mi Yu was embarrassed to come to me or something.”

"As we were chatting, we decided to come back and get ready before the curfew ends, and give it a try by running on the training ground."

"And I just happened to meet the president, the seniors, and you."

Mejiro McQueen thought about it, "Although I don't know what President Luduo wants to say to Senior Oguri and Senior Xiaoyu, but with so many seniors here, we can find a chance to ask for advice. Maybe it will be better than running around on the training ground."

"What do you think?"

The latter question she asked was directed at the horse racing ladies behind her.

"Agree."

"Mi Yu thinks it's okay..."

“Although I don’t quite understand it, it seems very interesting.”

Miura Bourbon, Miyu, and Chun Ulala echoed.

"So this is what it looks like..."

After understanding how his friend could catch him self-destructing, the Emperor of the East Sea nodded thoughtfully, "Although I'm not too sure what the president is worried about, I think she should have a good talk with Senior Oguri and Senior Xiaoyu."

"During this period, we cannot disturb you."

"But after the president and the seniors have talked, I will go and ask for advice."

Mejiro McQueen was a little surprised, "You want one too, Emperor?"

"Well, of course."

Looking at Mebai McQueen, the East Sea Emperor's eyes sparkled and he smiled, "Because I think the same as you do."

"I won't lose to you in the next match."

Little Luduo did not wait for the younger generations to come over before explaining to the winner of the day pillow. Instead, he found a corner to sit in the cafeteria and frankly explained the whole story of how he became smaller.

Although it was past dinner time at this time, there were still many windows offering midnight snacks, and the vending machines were still in operation.

Just as the winner of the Hinamikaze had told Oguri Hat before, the academic and training pressure at Central Tresen College was actually very high.

Every year, countless horse racing girls want to get in and show themselves on the most dazzling stage, but not every horse racing girl can achieve her wish.

Especially in the last two semesters, local horse girls represented by Oguruma and Inari Ichi have shined after transferring to the central academy. The URA Association and the college board of directors have also increased their investment in local colleges, and more and more local horse girls are trying to transfer to the central academy.

Compared with the past, there are more and more horse girls who are able to show themselves, but there are also more and more horse girls who cannot adapt to the intensity of study and training in the Central Academy and have to leave sadly.

In this context, the academy does not, in principle, restrict the racing ladies from arranging additional training on their own.

After class and school, and after dinner, most people stay on the training ground to continue working hard. On the contrary, teams like the Eternal Club, which have controlled the intensity and time of training since the team period, are a minority.

In order to provide sufficient support for the horse girls who are undergoing extra training, the academy's cafeteria will be open until very late.

Before explaining the process of shrinking, little Luduo ordered a small midnight snack and a drink for the winner of the Japanese pillow at the cafeteria window. By the time she finished explaining it, the winner of the Japanese pillow had almost finished his midnight snack.

"...There is actually such a magical potion. It sounds like that junior, Elissako, has quite an incredible talent."

Biting his drink straw, the day pillow winner exclaimed.

"I think so too. Besides, she may be able to solve not only the potion that can make me smaller, but also some very troublesome diseases."

Raising his hands, looking at his hands that were a circle smaller than he remembered, Little Luduo said with emotion: "And it was thanks to Kitahara that we were able to find such a horse girl with such unique talents."

"Otherwise, perhaps we have to wait until she enters Central Tresen College normally, and then Chairman Qiuchuan or I can find out about this. In that case, it will take at least one or two years, or even longer."

He was nodding his head at what little Luduo said, but when he heard Kitahara's name, the Hikari winner suddenly looked thoughtful.

After little Luduo finished speaking, she said thoughtfully: "Now, Luduo, I understand that you have become smaller. According to what you said, you just don't want to attract too much attention now, but you will still be responsible for the affairs of the student union, right?"

Although he didn't understand why the senior asked this, Little Luduo nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Hiruzen, is there anything you want the Student Union to help you with?"

"Actually, it's not just my idea, but the idea of ​​Mepu Shenzan and me."

Suddenly mentioning the head of another dormitory, the Hinamura Yingjia said seriously, "It was because you mentioned Kitahara that I remembered this."

"The ability of that trainer is really hard to imagine, but no matter what, thanks to his efforts, there is indeed a competition that allows horse girls like us to compete again."

Hearing this, Little Luduo had roughly guessed what this senior was thinking, "So, Senior Himaru, you and Miura Shinzan want to quit your jobs as dormitory heads and concentrate on preparing for your comeback?"

"Not bad, Luduo, it seems that although you have become smaller, you are still as sharp as before."

Nodding with satisfaction, the Japanese pillow winner suddenly stood up and asked, "Is the process okay?"

"I think you probably haven't forgotten that we agreed to compete again after the Emperor's autumn viewing."

"I originally thought that we would never have another chance after we retired, but now it seems that there is no problem in competing again."

"How about you, the emperor, and me, the former emperor of Miles, compete again?"

"Oh, by the way, I have nothing to do right now, why don't we go to the training ground and have a try? Don't tell me that you are not as strong as before~"

When she was in service, from the competitions and daily interactions in the academy, little Luduo understood that the senior girl, the Hikari Winner, had a very direct personality, but she did not expect that she would be so direct and run away as soon as she said so.

If it were any other time, she wouldn't mind running around the training ground. Being smaller now doesn't mean her strength has declined.

only……

Somewhat worriedly, she looked to the other side.

At a table a little further away, Oguruma and Tamamo Cross were enjoying a large plate of fried rice.

I want to talk to both of them...

As she was hesitating, she suddenly heard the voice of the Hikari Winner with a hint of laughter.

"If you care about them, call them to run together."

Turning his head in surprise, little Luduo saw a strange light flashing in his senior's eyes.

"You should be concerned about them, right? Maybe you're worried about something, but it doesn't matter. Luduo, you have always been like this. You can't go to the kitchen just because you're bored and want to have a midnight snack."

"Since you care about them so much, let's run together."

"As for Uma Musume, there's nothing that can't be solved by running together."

"This is my attempt to do my best for the lovely juniors in the dormitory before I quit my job as dormitory head."
